Why Outsource e-Learning?

Receive all the benefits whilst removing the costs and administrative burdens of e-Learning by outsourcing the function to Bridgewater.

A lot of current training is still very reliant on costly face-to-face interactions , whether this is outsourced or in-house. This training requires a huge investment of time and is exceedingly difficult to accomplish when those needing training are geographically dispersed.

e-Learning has long been recognised as a highly efficient means of delivering training to a wide audience (click here for some of the benefits of e-Learning). The problem for many organisations is the resources required to take advantage of these benefits.

Many companies start with CD or DVD purchases, but as the company size increases, these become increasingly difficult to manage. Also, they don’t often provide the ideal solution because they generally lack any kind of reporting, assessments or learner support.

For a large or growing organisation, the next logical step has been to invest in a management system, but there are hurdles to doing this such as:

• System costs
• Ongoing administration costs
• Maintenance costs
• Change management requirements as a result of internalising learning
• The availability and proficiency of system administrators
• Ongoing learning content sourcing or creation costs

Because of the nature of bandwidth and accessibility (particularly in Africa), this system would typically be installed in-house. This results in increased software maintenance and hardware costs and a large reliance on IT planning and fit.

These hurdles are sometimes barriers to entry even for large companies. For small to medium enterprises, they can result in in-house managed e-Learning being completely out of reach.

An outsourced e-Learning solution can be the ideal way to enter training by e-Learning. Through outsourcing, system and administrative costs can be removed and commitment to the endeavour can be managed. If you want to trial e-Learning without the risks, outsourcing is the answer.
